The 2021 Tawakoni Gala Events Raise More Than $17,500 for New Camp Security Gate
Thank you to all who donated time, auction items, and/or purchased items at the virtual and in-person 2021 Tawakoni Gala Auctions. We had 27 participants in the virtual auction and about 75 participated in the in-person auctions.
A special thank you goes to:
- The 2021 Gala Planning Team
- The Anonymous donation to cover the meal expense
- Martin Peck and his kitchen crew for the meal
- Rhonda Glenn, pastor at Lewis CC for the punch and The New Day Woman’s Group from Great Bend FCC for the snacks.
- Our auctioneer/MC, Arthur Stewart
- Our regional staff for all their support
- All the volunteers who give their time throughout the year
Each year the Camp Steering Committee has a wish list of items that would enhance the beauty and or the function of our camp and conference center. This year, we raised more than $17,500 towards a new front security gate system.
We have a beautiful facility and grounds that need to be cared for and secured. We have staff that work and live on the grounds and they are frequently there alone. Additionally, summertime brings hundreds of children from a wide range of family backgrounds to our facility. We need to keep them safe!
We continue to invest in our facilities and the overall ministry of the Disciples Center at Camp Tawakoni.
This is another important step in our process of taking these Holy grounds and using them to bring glory and honor to God. Without your financial support, we would not be able to offer the type of camp and conference center we have today.
If you would still like to make a donation to any of our capital improvement projects, please visit the “Donate Here” tab at www.tawakoni.org. Keep in mind all regional offices are closed from Christmas Eve through New Years Day. The Last day to get your 2021 tax-deductible gifts in is Monday, December 20.
